A Review on the Challenges of Fashion Students' Training Based on Curriculum Structure of Technical Universities in Ghana

James Tetteh Ademtsu | Dr. Pragya Pathak ^[2]

Abstract: Ghanaian fashion education has particular difficulties because of the technical university curriculum. To provide students enrolled in these programmes with a thorough understanding of the present status of fashion training, this literature review synthesises data from previous scholarly studies. The research looks at Ghanaian technical colleges' curricular frameworks and how they affect fashion students' instruction and learning. The mismatch between course material and industry demands, the absence of chances and facilities for practical training, the faculty's lack of experience, and the restricted access to fashion - specific tools and technology are some of the major concerns that have been examined. Through a comprehensive analysis of the literature, this review highlights areas that still need investigation and knowledge gaps. It also draws attention to ways that fashion education might be improved, including incorporating practical learning components into courses, upgrading facilities and technology, and strengthening faculty expertise. The evaluaconcludesusion that in order to give students the necessary skills for the Ghanaian fashion industry, it would be necessary to alter the fashion curriculum offered in technical universities and establish industry collaborations.
